RIDE DESCRIPTON: The Henderson County Extension office (100 Jackson Park Rd) is hosting an Eclipse Party from 2-4pm. Let's go for a ride and then join the party! We'll ride from Jackson Park to Flat Rock Bakery - a nice 25 mile route with a short stop at the bakery so we make it back in time for the eclipse. This is a NO-Drop Ride where we'll average 13-14 mph. Always ensure you have the route and are fully self-sufficient to complete the ride on your own and have the ride leader's cell number.

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: Park at the Glover St entrance, near Field 2.
HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Restrooms at Jackson Park, restrooms, water, baked goods at the bakery.
EQUIPMENT: Helmets and water bottles are mandatory. Have the route on your bike computer, phone, or printed cue sheet. Front facing headlights and rear blinking lights are highly recommended for this ride and required on the Blue Ridge Parkway unless appropriate reflectors are attached. Your bike must be equipped with the necessary lights or reflectors in accordance with applicable North Carolina and federal law and statutes governing bicycles. You should be fully self-sufficient for repair of flat tires or small mechanical issues.
NOTE: All rides leave promptly at the time stated. Give yourself enough time (at least fifteen minutes) to get your bike unloaded and all geared up!
WEATHER: Please remember if the weather looks "iffy" or gets bad before the start date and time, then the ride leaders may not be there and you will be riding on your own. We will try to send out an email if that happens, but Western NC is a very large area and some places could be sunshine and other places bad weather.
